1051880 - Import some old Skia code into gfx/2d (licensing concerns)

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(mozilla.org :: Licensing, task)

Description

[George Wright (:gw280) (needinfo me!)]

The code in question was removed from Skia a short while ago, but we still need it, so I've re-imported it directly into our tree (in gfx/2d) in the patch reviewed here: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1017113#c20

Can you let me know if there's anything I need to do from a licensing perspective? The mini copyright header that's in that patch is lifted directly from the file that the code was in before it was removed upstream.

You should include a full copy of the Skia BSD header instead of the mini header. AIUI, it's this one:
https://skia.googlesource.com/skia/+/master/LICENSE

I know it's long-winded.

So start with something like:

/* The following function was imported from Skia, which is under the following license: */

And end the imported code section with something like:

/* End of code imported from Skia */
